Monster

 We are making adjustments to the Gyfin Rhasia Temple Underground loot drop rates.
The drop rates of items such as Forest Fury, Elkarr, and others was reduced. The drop rate of Caphras Stones was increased and we added the Destruction Spirit Stone to be dropped here.
These change were not made to lower the drop rates in Gyfin Rhasia Temple Underground. The main focus of these changes was to adjust the value of certain loot across all the monster zones.

● Made the following changes to the Gyfin Rhasia Temple Underground:
– Increased the drop rate of Caphras Stones by approximately 15%.
– Added “Destruction Spirit Stone” to drop in this monster zone.
– Added “Trace of Memory” to drop in this monster zone.
– Reduced Elkarr drop rate by approximately 75%.
– Reduced Krogdalo’s Origin Stone drop rate by approximately 85%.
– Reduced Forest Fury drop rate by approximately 69%.

● Slightly increased the area of the Rift of Despair’s effect in Elvia Calpheon

Mount

 We originally made the ability to use certain skills while auto-running on a mount available to Adventurers with high enough mastery in Training. Considering how much more difficult it is to level Training compared to other Life Skills, we had initially set the bar to “at least Artisan 1,” but found that not as many Adventurers were using this ability. With the hopes that many more Adventurers will enjoy this ability, we decided to lower the requirement to “at least Professional 1.”

● Lowered the requirement to use the function which automatically used certain skills while auto-moving on mounts.

MountsAutomated SkillsRequirements
HorsesSprintAt least Training Artisan 1 → At least Training Professional 1
CamelsQuick StepsAt least Training Artisan 1 → At least Training Professional 1

Quest, Knowledge

 We’ve added some side quests for world-building purposes.
We plan on adding more quests like these where you, the Adventurer, will be helping out random NPCs, both changing the in-game world for the better as you get a better understanding of said NPCs, thereby breathing new life into the immersive world of Black Desert.

● Added several new side quests in the world of Black Desert.
– A child with a beautiful voice is afraid to sing before others in the streets of Calpheon.
– A soldier stationed at Trina Fort is exhausted by the ongoing war.
– Cries for aid can be heard from the Falres Dirt Farm and Bain Farmland in Calpheon.
– A bounty hunter at the Dancing Marlin Tavern near Velia wharf has a strange tale to share.
